Welcome to ComPyTools

ComPyTools is a Python package for working with equation of state (EoS) tables in the “CompStar Online Supernova Equations of state” (CompOSE) format. It provides tools to read, write, and analyze CompOSE tables within Python workflows, leveraging astropy for data tables, units, and metadata.

ComPyTools allows the user to:

• Read in CompOSE cold or general purpose EoS tables,

• Create interpolated tables for cold and general purpose EoSs using the CompOSE Fortran routines via a Python interface,

• Produce cold EoS tables in the CompOSE format for those who wish to contribute their own EoS.
